Month: April 2017

I find the air in our bedrooms is heavy and smelly after a nights sleep, so I want to have something making it fresher. The options are to buy an air cleaner or try to get some plants doing the job. I prefer the plants because I hate sounds when I sleep.
However, I have been told that it is not good to have plants in the sleeping room. I found it odd because in my mind it should then be dangerous to walk trough a forrest during the night, because there would be no oxygen left to breath 🙂
Second thing why I want to have plants is that apartments in general are having too dry air which is giving me tough time with dry nose and all that comes with it.

I decided thus to find out what plants one can have in the sleeping room. If possible with flowers, because the green “leaf plants” I find a little bit boring. Finding the video underneath surprised me and motivates me to buy some of these plants 🙂

Chlorophytum comosumAnother plant that is supposed to be good is the Chlorophytum comosum. This one is amazing in cleaning the air from formaldehyd. Formaldehyd is contained in all possible materials from colors to body creams. Benzen, xylen and toluen are other substances that this plant is cleaning the air of.Jedna druga biljka koja je navodno dobra je Chlorophytum comosum. Nevjerovatan je čistać vazduha. Čisti formaldehid direktno iz vazduha. Formaldehid se koristi u svim mogućim materijalima od boje do kreme za tijelo. Benzen, xylen i toluen su druge substance koje ova biljka čisti.

JasmineWhat surprised me in the video is that Jasmine is a bedroom plant and that it has a sedative effect making the sleep better. I think I will by a couple for Ada that is waking up every night…Što me začudilo je iz videa je da je Jasmin jedna biljka za spavaće sobe i čak da ima seditivnmi efekat što čini da bolje spavam. Mislim da par ovi nije loše za Adu jer se budi svaku noć…

Lavendel
I love it but I wonder if that is not a tick to strong for a sleeping room? On the other hand it is calming small children giving them better sleep… Sounds interesting for Ada´s room …Lavanda-
Volim lavandu ali se pitam da nije miris ipak malo prejak za spavaću sobu? Ali u drugu ruku ima smirujući efekat na djeci što ima daje bolji san….Opet nešto za Adu… i mene

Valerian
This is something for me. My brain is spinning on maximum before sleep and obviously I just need to inhale the scent of the valerian and it will make me sleepy…one for Ada…and one for me 😛Valerija
Ovo je nešto za mene. Moj mozak je na 200 prije spavanja i izgleda da trebam samo malo mirisa inhalirati i čini će me uspavanom… jedna biljka za Adu i jedna za mene 😛_____________________________________________________________________
GardeniaI find gardenias so cute. And they are as effective as valium in helping the body and mind to relax and prepare for sleep which means one for me and one for Ada 😛Gardenija
Tako su mi slatke. I isto su efektivne kao valium da opuste tijelo i um i tako pripreme tijelo za spavanje. Znaći jedna biljka za mene i jedna za Adu 😛_____________________________________________________________________________

Aloe Vera
I got surprised that Aloe vera is 1) a plant producing oxygen over night and 2) that it is as good in it as the snake plant. Začudila sam se da je Aloe vera 1) biljka koja producia kisik noću i 2) da je isto dobra u tome kao svekrvin jezik._____________________________________________________________________________

Gerbera daisy
I love it BUT I do wonder if it can survive me :/ It is one of the best plants in cleaning the air from bensen. Gerbera
Prelijepe biljke, ali ne znam ako mene mogu preživjeti :/ Ove su biljke jedne od najbolji u čišćenja vazduha od benzena.

Spathyfillum – Peace Lilly
I love the name and last time I had it was in Sweden. It survived me which means that there might be a chance it survives me this time too. It does remove also formaldehyde and bensen from the air, as well astrikloretylen, xylen, toluen, aceton, alkohol and ammoniak. It also increases the humidity in the room which is the k.o criteria for me. I want it to be more humid in the apartment. Spatifil- Ljiljan miraSviđa mi se ime i zadnji put sam imala ovu biljku u Švedskoj. Preživjela me što znači da postoji šansa da me opet preživi. Sklanja formaldehid i benzen iz vazduha kao trikloretilen, xilen (xylen), toluen, aceton, alkohol i amoniak. Isto povećava vlažnost u vazduhu što je za mene k.o kriterija jer hoću da mi bude vlažnije u stanu.

Orchides
Last but not least are the orchids. The most common plant that I see on windows lately. I got surprised that it is such a useful plant. It is cleaning the air from bensen, formaldehyde, xylen and toluene. It is also humidifying the air. All this packed into a beautiful plant.OrhidejaI za kraj stoje orhideje. Ovo je u zadnje vrijeme najučestalija biljka koju vidim na prozorima i moram priznati da sam se pravo začudila kad sam pročitala koliko je korisna ova biljka i da je noćni proizvođać kisika. Čisti isto xilen (xylen), toluen, formaldehid i benzen i navlažava vazduh. I sve to upakovano u jednom predivnom cvijetu.

One thing I was surprised about or rather did not think of was that some plants should be “cleaned” meaning the leafs should be wiped once a week. That is logic – when you think of the leaves as a filter that is filtering the air and gets stuffed with dust.

Some people would pay millions for some paintings (old post) but I have my own artist that is quite active in producing new paintings. She decided to paint grandpa. I think she really misses him. This painting we call “Grandpa sitting in the sofa and watching tv.” Grandpa also said that he absolutely wants this picture so said and done we framed it. Now it is just waiting for grandpa to come and pick it up 🙂

The first meeting we would have regarding Ada was today at 8.00h and what happened. We overslept! Imagine our panic when we got up and ran through the apartment to pack all our stuff to get to the kindergarten in time. Ensar was finished first with Ada so they left first and and after came I with Adrian, with the second car because I didn’t want to miss the first development talk with her preschool teacher. I came half an hour late…for the first meeting! So embarrassing, but at least I came 😛
The meeting itself was very interesting. I found it quite fascinating how they have followed her development the last half a year. How they read her as person. I found it fascinating to hear specific things about this little person you call your daughter. How she is and what she does. How her personality is developing. I was sitting there and thinking woow. I have a great daughter!Prevod: Djeca su kao mokar cjement. Šta god padne na njih ostavi utisak. -Dr. Haim Ginott

For months now there is always someone in the family being sick. Ada is coughing for months. She hardly hears because of all the fluid behind her ears. Adrian is on antibiotics because we do not want to risk pneumonia and on top of that I had to go to the doctor because I am coughing like some old smoker. Doctor listened to my lungs and said oh you need antibiotics. So now I have to take antibiotics, Adrian is taking them and since we do not know whether Ada is just coughing or she also has a problem I have to take her too to the doctor. I am so FED UP with it.
Mjesecima je uvijek neko bolestan u familiji. Ada kašlje mjesecima. Jedva čuje jer je iza uha puno tečnosti. Adrian je na antibioticima jer ne smijemo rizikovati upalu pluća. I na to sve sinoć osjetim kako mi se stežu pluća kad dišem i odem danas kod doktora. I čuda on mi prepiše antibiotik jer mi plućno krilo pišti kao kod pušača kad dišem. I sad ja moram piti antibiotik, Adrian ih pije i ko zna ako Ada kašlje zato što mjesecima kašlje ili možda i ona mora piti antibiotik. Tako da danas opet po drugi put moram kod djećijeg doktora. Mogu reći da mi je puna kapa svega…

Today, Ada wrote “MAMA” for the first time )ok not 100% correct but still). She did it all by herself so I got so surprised. She already knows how to spell her name but had some problems with the letter “D”, so I told her that “D” is a line “I” with a belly. She remembered it but still asked if she wrote it correct 🙂
Adrian on the other hand is still sick with fever and very bad caughing. He talks much when he is ok and has already said something similar to “mama” a couple of times but I think it was more an coinsidence than purpose. Still it made me happy 🙂
Danas je Ada po prvi put napisala “MAMA”. Sama je to uradila tako da sam se pravo iznenadila. Zna već svoje ime napisati ali ima mali problemčić sa slovom “D”. Rekla sam joj da je to crtica “I” sa stomačićem. To joj je bilo smiješno i zapamtila ga, ali još uvijek pita ako ga tačno napisala:)
Adrian je i dalje bolestan. Gadno kašlje već sedmicama i samo je gore. Nadam se da neće preći u upalu pluća. Inače kad mu se temperatura spusti jako puno prića i već je nekolika puta nešto poput “mama” rekao. Mislim doduše da je to više slučajnost ali me ipak pravo obradovalo 🙂

This month Axfood, Sagax and SEB are paying the dividends. So A&A get 120 kr dividends from Axfood and 41 kr from Sagax . Altogether 161 kr that will be reinvested.
Even though H&M has been in negative discussions lately I bought 2 H&M stocks and hope that H&M will manage to recover. I give them this year for it, otherwise I believe I will sell them off and buy some other stocks. (In the picture the 55 kr from SEB are also included). It is nice to see that in March we are already getting half the dividends as we had for the whole year 2016.In my portfolio, I had obtained 250 Units of Dividend Sweden, because I used the 750 subscription rights that the owners got. I also got 246 kr dividends from Axfood. These I reinvested in 12 Sagax D stocks increasing the dividend 24 kr per year.
It feels nice to get the dividends even if right now every stock at Stockmarket feels too expensive.
